TV is probably one of the most important inventions of human history, by watching news, you get to know what happens on the other side of the world with practically zero cost. If you are cutting cost on movie going, TV is probably the next similar entertainment easily accessible at home. Family nowadays tends to only gather together during TV prime time, to us we call family time. There is study reports and statistic shows that watching TV even helps suburb Indian women liberalized of gender right. Recently i have been really addicted to CNBC channel, one of the most informative business/financial channel in United Stated. They have played some really good programs as far as i can remember. Remember i posted an article titled Where To Learn Financial Literacy? I think watching quality business channel can help us in learning business languages.
However, don’t take that any program that reports on live stock movement or analysis are all good one, many of this program are just plain noise on your investment decisions, while i think many so called analysts talking about stock analysis is only about marketing. Some of my favorite type of programs are documentary. Such as success story of multi billion corporations like McDonald, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, etc, the explanation of financial crisis and accountability, the most shocking corporate fraud investigation, etc. So to extend my article on Where to Learn Financial Literacy, i would say watching good business TV channels really help us to improve business sense, since you are not required to read the boring black and white (text in the book) which you will more likely get sleepy so watching the colorful TV might be another good alternative in learning.
If you don’t have access to US TV channel, try to stream it through Internet. Google is your best friend.
